Bab 182: Robbery Of The Century

I can't hold it back any longer as, despite my best efforts, a manic cackle escapes my lips, echoing through the underground chamber and soon erupting into full-blown hysterical laughter. 

What a legendary find - quite literally. 

My greed has paid off in a magnificent manner. 

A healthy dose of greed has never hurt anybody…

Now if the three of us manage to get out, I would already consider this mission an astounding success.

Though my laughter soon dies down as I step closer to the [Veil of Aetherius] and when I finally get a better look at the artifact, my excitement falters for a moment.

This thing is massive.

It's easily as tall as me - two meters (6'6") - and nearly as wide. The artifact has an intricately designed surface that seems to ripple like the waves of the calm sea while shimmering in blue and purple colors. Strange runes are etched across its surface, pulsing with a weak light.
